This one was based on a great photo by Darren Markland @drdagly.bsky.social I loved adding the highlights on this one. #oilpainting #humanmade #artist

This encapsulates a profound shared joy. This week we spent 23 hrs in the saddle, climbing 7395m and ripping 271 km of the finest single track BC had to offer. Trials cement friendships, and trails keep us coming back for more. Canada is majestic as it is noble.

Riding the park was pure adrenaline. This is zen. Even the climbs were relaxing. 🥰

City council can put ballot questions forward during the next municipal election. I think we should give this serious thought and let all taxpayers and voters have a say on providing the oilers owners $88.5m for their business. www.michaeljanz.ca/referendum2025

Edmontonians should have a referendum this municipal election: Should taxpayers provide $88.5 million to the Oilers Entertainment Group for a new Event Park?

I’m not a man who uses faith in the churn. I do think the universe has a dark sense of humour. I liked this pope. He took on the mantle of humanity, one that had been shirked by his predecessors. He wore it with honesty & valour. His last council should not have been the devil.

I’d argue everyone knew how bad it would be. But just over half thought it would only affect everyone else.

There are places, That hold on to the last of winter, Just as I clasp onto gentle solitude, And my heart seeks solace. For there is no coincidence in the solstice. It is the fulcrum upon which The seasons balance. A fine tipping unto the herald of sound And fury.

It’s a tiny cabin in the woods, but it’s been built with honesty, and it’s taught me so much, most importantly, go outside and look up, because though it may make you feel small, the view is worth it.

We live in the north. There will always be snow, or at least I hope there will. How we deal with it is what we control. I choose to dive in to it like a corgi on meth.

I figured it might be a bit snowy for @coffeeoutside.bsky.social, but I had to check if @uptownone.bsky.social left any treats behind.

I looked into the ravine knowing that once I started this path there was no turning back. It’s a rather obvious metaphor but no matter the challenges it brought me, I’m a richer man for it. Also the nurses in the unit find me insufferably cheerful this morning. 😈🙂

Dear future Darren. There will beautiful fluffy snow covering all that treacherous ice that you already know about. You will attack that ridiculously steep descent like a 7 year old who had 3 hours of sleep and a triple espresso with 8 tbs of sugar. It won’t end well. Sincerely. Present Darren.

Mostly cloudy, a bit breezy…but still fairly warm Wednesday. Then…things take a turn in the evening with rain turning to snow & snow Thursday (probably heavy snow). After that…a cool spell sets in. Here’s your Tuesday WxBlast video: www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/vid... #yegwx

Spring at the cabin can be a bit wild. Had to hike in as the snow was still quite deep. Down to the last of my chopped wood. The weather varies 😂. Still my favourite place in the world.

Things far more important for the Canadian economy than tax cuts for millionaires: * Dental, pharma, vision care. * Clean indoor air. * Worker safety. * Mental health care. * Environmental health. * Education. * Support for chronically ill and disabled folks. * Research funding.

When I’m asked why I do @coffeeoutside.bsky.social , I channel @kub64.bsky.social “If the monks aren’t there to toll the bells, then the town ceases to hear their calling.” A community’s orbit depends on both the gravity & period of its rituals. So I roast and grind the beans. And it fills my cup.
